Chapter 2993 Unobstructed

The fact that Qifangcheng surrendered so simply was of course affected by the Battle of Qiu Town. As for the city lord of Qifang City, he had actually just escaped from Qiu Town.

The imperial court mobilized a large army, and Qifangcheng, who was close to them, naturally joined the coalition forces. He had always been in the coalition camp before.

However, the city lord of Qifang City did not know what happened from the beginning to the end, and he was defeated inexplicably. When the chaos that night affected his military camp, the soldiers could no longer shout back, and everywhere

They were all fleeing soldiers, and he didn't know where his own men were, and he couldn't organize them at all.

Only then did he realize that a person of his status was not even qualified to influence the overall situation.

When he set off with his troops, he had the intention of making a name for himself in this battle. However, he failed to perform any meritorious service and came back defeated without being even qualified to participate in the battle. This huge gap directly affected his character.

They were all beaten to death.

Of course he didn't know that in fact, the troops he brought out before were even more than Linton's troops who attacked them. After all, there were tens of thousands of people coming.

Of course, he later met Li Jinglong who had escaped and confirmed their tragic defeat. After all, he didn't even know what was going on at the time.

If Li Jinglong was willing to rebuild the defense line here, the city lord of Fangcheng would naturally be willing to help. However, he did not expect that Li Jinglong was seriously injured. The only time he woke up was to shout to continue retreating.

By retreating, wouldn't it mean that he would give up the rest of his city?

Not only that, the other party did not say anything about retreating, but directly took away all the defeated troops gathered by his men. Of course, he also told him to let him go too.

The lord of Qifang City simply fell silent. Not to mention that all his wealth was in Qifang City, and those under him had not completely escaped yet.

Isn't the most important thing to do now to re-establish a defense line here, hold the city while waiting for his men and other defeated armies to join together? After all, Qifang City is the nearest big city to Qiu Town, and there should be many

All the soldiers should flee here.

But Li Jinglong's first reaction was to keep running. Seeing what he meant, he was ready to run all the way back to the capital. Yes, he had no doubt that this guy's retreat would last his whole life.

Facing such a general, the city lord only felt sad. So in the end he refused to run with Li Jinglong, saying that he wanted to stay and rectify the defeated troops, and then continue to organize resistance and so on.

Li Jinglong was in a coma and did not wake up at all. His men strictly followed his orders and did not care about the matter of the Lord of Fangcheng. They ran back again with them.

The actual situation is that at that time, the lord of Qifang City had already intended to defect to the other side.

And Li Ying personally called the door, which made him make up his mind. Comparing the courage of the two sides, Li Jinglong escaped like a lost dog. Look at Li Ying here, regardless of the danger, went to the city to call the door in person. Of course, this made people already

The city lord who knew the direction was convinced.

So Qifang City was opened like this. After all, not only the city lord, but also most of the soldiers in Qifang City had just escaped from the battlefield in Qiu Town. Of course, they had also been beaten out of their minds and were afraid of the people on the opposite side.

The troops also knew that their leader had already fled.

Yes, Linton and the others stayed stationed for two days because they needed to integrate their troops. But Li Jinglong ran away immediately.

When Linton and his troops arrived at Qifang City, there were actually some broken troops gathered in Qifang City, about 20,000 people.

If this group of soldiers really resisted, they would certainly be able to resist for a long time, but there really was no one to organize them.

Now the lord of Fangcheng surrendered directly with 20,000 people, and both sides were quite satisfied.

"It's done!" Li Ying here was extremely excited, looking at Linton with the same obsession. Under normal circumstances, of course he would not take the risk of going to the city to call the door. How dangerous it was. But Linton let him go

Yes, he trusted Linton as always, so he went there. The effect was indeed outstanding, and he really made the other party switch sides on the spot.

So you really have to listen to your son-in-law, right? It’s really a no-brainer. From Li Ying’s point of view, Linton has really planned everything. Linton had already said this before the battle in Qiu Town.

After that, it was obvious that Linton had determined all developments at that time, and he was worthy of being a military god.

However, Li Ying did not expect that this was just the beginning, because just after Qifang City, and on the way to the capital, several more cities surrendered directly.

Of course, he was the one who called for the door. It was really just asking one door to open. He even walked to the door and the other party opened the door and was waiting without even calling.

The reason for such success, apart from the shock of the Qiu Town Battle, more importantly, was that they all knew the new order from the imperial court.

Didn't the imperial court ask Li Jinglong to quickly lead his soldiers back to defend the capital? Then the other meaning of this order was to abandon them?

If you leave with your soldiers and food, and let them stay here to resist the rebels, what will they do to resist? Will they risk their lives?

Since the court no longer cares about them, do they still want to care about the court? Obviously there are not many people who want to die. Even if there are, his subordinates are not so united as to follow him to death.

Yes, even if there is a general who really wants to resist, the question is why do his soldiers follow him to fight against Li Ying's troops?

Although these generals brought their own soldiers to join the coalition, their troops were completely dispersed after the Battle of Qiu Town.

Some of the people in the city were taken away by Li Jinglong, and the rest were broken troops who fled back one after another. They were not the troops they brought to join the coalition at all. They were not their own people at all. How could they convince these people?

The soldiers followed him to death.

The 400,000-strong coalition army was defeated by the other side. How many people are there in the city now? If we continue to resist, wouldn't it be to risk death?

Therefore, even if there were those who were unwilling to surrender, they were directly suppressed by others. The final result was that Li Ying kept shouting at the door, and the cities he passed also surrendered all the way.

Soon, Linton's troops had expanded to more than 110,000. All of them were broken troops gathered in various cities.

The better news is that many officers who escaped also voted, so the problem of insufficient officers was soon solved. It's just a little troublesome to integrate, but this is Xu Jing's strength.

Walking and integrating all the way, what is surprising is that they actually caught up with Li Jinglong's retreating army.
